I was so nervous when I went to the oral surgeons office. Like hands uncontrollably shaking nervous. You know what? It was a breeze. It didn&#39;t take all that long and there was no pain. Zero, zilch. They even offered my an ipod or a movie. After I left there was that awkward half numb face business but there was hardly any pain after either. And by hardly I mean a stubbed toe hurts worse. Easy peasey. I think that procedure must have been terrible decades ago but I had a great surgeon and I almost had fun.

I had my wisdom teeth removed last year @ the age of 33, and I was scared to death! Everyone made such a big deal about how it&#39;s so much worse when you&#39;re &quot;that old.&quot; Well, let me tell you, it was seriously a NON-event. I went to Lowes with my husband 2 hours after the surgery and ate at Ihop that night. You&#39;ll be fine. The only advice I have to offer it to stay ahead of your pain. Don&#39;t be afraid to take your pain meds. You&#39;ll only need them for a couple of days, but you will need them! (At least I did!) Good luck!Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511458992881094521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-80421628497636304702012-06-19T22:27:45.960-04:002012-06-19T22:27:45.960-04:00Oh sweety, it will be ok, really.

I have had 4 teeth extracted for braces, had several cavities filled and re-filled, but the minute the dentist says &#39;wisdom teeth&#39;, I say &#39;back off&#39;. Mine (thankfully) came in fine, but they are a little covered by my gum tissue. I don&#39;t care. I say if they can be left alone, they should be. I am sure there is now a note in my file saying &#39;don&#39;t mention wisdom teeth.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587030775350625156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-82430187318065581602012-06-16T21:53:59.318-04:002012-06-16T21:53:59.318-04:00Girl don&#39;t let it bother you.

If it makes you feel any better after I had mine taken out I was doing good until the novacaine wore off. <br />My then fiance now hubby went with me (thank goodness)he was like you look aweful! Me shooting &quot;the look&quot; at him. Then to add to it all we went to Mc Donald&#39;s after it all, and I had the chicken noodle soup. I was still a bit numb but it was wearing off. I ended up burning my mouth with the soup and bit the inside of my cheek in the process. Word of the wise, no matter how hungry you are afterwords, do wait to eat! <br />Also love the new look! It&#39;s very colorful and cheerful.<br />Best wishes for the surgery!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084965242094367578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-41924502332037016252012-06-16T21:13:37.776-04:002012-06-16T21:13:37.776-04:00Love the refresh - the header makes me happy just ...Love the refresh - the header makes me happy just looking at it.

I finally found a dentist I can love. So much better since I have a LOT of work to be done. Example: I had 8 (yes 8) extractions yesterday and ZERO pain today. None. no pain meds. A tiny bit sore where I got the shots. No swelling. A great dentist is awesome and sounds like you have super care! <br />~Christina in Clevelandqueenopearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571558913677682583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-86019532778186786442012-06-15T18:55:26.660-04:002012-06-15T18:55:26.660-04:00It&#39;s a breeze!!
